Being Lazy…

lazyones5.jpg

…is something that this heat induces.  Ok I know I’m going to sound like a whiner but the heat in London is getting to that muggy/cloudy humid annoying stage that is making me fall asleep at every given opportunity.  So whilst I’m experiencing narcoleptic moments at the bus stop, on the tube or even worse, at work, time is even more of the essence. 

Lazyones5 Like I said yesterday, my windows of opportunity for shopping are pretty much limited these days so when I got the chance to roam around the shops, I went a little mad and when I popped into The Lazy Ones store off Brick Lane, who are having an equally mad 70% off sample sale.  I chuffed about this ‘low street’ label a few months ago and I’m glad it’s all going peachy for Nat and Diego and they may even be making a Stateside crossover as the new Topshop store in  New York will replicate the Oxford Circus London flagship with an external label bazaar section.  I’m just about prepping myself for the NY madness that will ensue at the opening…

Anyhow, back to heat-induced laziness….turns out the word ‘lazy’ in Nat and Diego’s shop name DOES have some significance.  These are pieces that don’t need much done to them at all… a throw em’ on attitude, grab your bag and get out… which frankly (and I know it will seem a little contradictory after last week’s post on layering…but how I was I supposed to know faint-worthy heat would be cranked up in London…?) is all that I can muster up because I’m feeling not 100% (doctors’ appointment tomorrow to find out whether kidney stones could be jamming up my system…)…

So along with a nude loose dress with lace trim, a pink and orange off-shoulder sleeve dress and a blue and olive flared skirt, bags get a rare appearance on the blog as the outfits in reality, like I said are the throw-em-on-and-grab-a-bag sort…

  5. as i was scrolling i thought ooo the little skirts are nice, i’m glad you got one! it would be great for mixing up colours this autumn, kind of like at marni. i hope the docs goes ok!

  13. I can totally see myself wearing the orange and pink dress with a white tee. I hope all goes well at the doctor!

  16. Rarely do you evoke in me enviousness rather than celebration with your finds….but today you’re coming clothes! The dress is just awesome.

  17. LOVE both the looks, but most especially that last one. Love the colors it and it’s shape. SO pretty. Hope it goes well at the Dr’s!

  21. Love the skirt and the pink/orange dress! It’s so sticky & hot out here that I too can’t be bothered to wear anything but a dress (uhm, and undies).
    I hope you’re proven stone-less!

  24. I love the skirt the best!
    Good luck at the doctors tomorrow – fingers crossed it’s just the heat affecting you and it’s not kidney stones.

  25. This heat is killing me I’m losing the will to think about fashion, you look lovely with the orange dress.

  31. Those pieces are lovely! I like clothes that don’t need additions to make a statement and at the same time over simplified outfits make me nervous!

  37. Sorry for my english, but i have to stop the curse in the middle.
    I love the shoes like a tenis in the photo of tou using a skirt blue.
    i’m from Brasil , in the state of Bahia

    ^^

  38. You look lovely, as always.
    I’m so glad that you added ‘Adjust the Sails’ as I have now found something besides fashion to fill by daily blog read. Thankyou!
    p.s. Hope that you haven’t got the dreaded stones!

  39. ooo baby! i love the first dress with lace trim and the two tone skirt. i would just like to say that your accent is so gorg (heard from the video you made for the brazilian event) that you should make a blog video for us.

  44. I really love the first dress, is there anyway you can buy online? if not i’ll have to have a little look in the shop next time im in London!

  49. Best thing about the skirt is it comes in lots of colours…they’re also very cheap at twenty pounds and less at the sample sale the Lazy Ones shop is having….
    They don’t sell online unfortunately (only a matter of time) but like I said before, I would email Nat and Diego through their blog and see what they can do…they’re nice folks!

  50. Eep! Can you tell us who’s responsible for the great sandals you’re wearing in Picture1 (with the nude/black dress)? Thanks!

  54. Is that a Lara Bohinc bag? If it is i’ll be eternally jealous!
